This week we're talking with Canberra Hip Hop staple - King Kruzader. A rapper and performer who opens up about what it's like to be an artist in 2024 and how many different hats you have to wear in this time of social media and the need to self promote.

We talk about the importance of perseverance and dedication in pursuing your passions. He shares his own stories of how creating music has been the guiding light that helped him pull himself out of long-term depression and how it continues to be the best form of therapy for him today.

The conversation explores the balance between pursuing dreams and working full-time jobs, the importance of progress and small wins, the perception of rappers for those outside the hip hop scene, the confidence of performers, and plenty more.

The conversation also touches on the power of manifestation and being present in the journey.

I had a blast chatting with King Kruzader and I know you're going to get a lot of insight and inspiration out of this chat.
